It seems to be, but I figured I'd check here to see if any of you have a solution for me. I have tried clearing cookies but that doesn't help. Says that the host is offline, but how can that be when the forum works? Thank you in advance for any help.

thank you for the link and for easing my concern that the problem was on my end. i don't have any great financial means or technical skills, but if I can be of any help to the admins working to fix this situation, please be in touch.
